Corbin is not amused by the sunflower seeds.

I believe in reference to Orioles excitement at AAA and AA I heard him refer to the organization as "them".

This team can't hit starters,only relievers.What's up with that?

Our batters are what you call, "mistake hitters." They can clobber batting practice balls, but if their pitchers are playing good movement or deception, they'll be lights out against us.

Combine that with the fact that the Boston bullpen is bad, and there's your sweep.

Unfortunately, I think the Brewers have a much better pen than the Red Sox.

Walltimore saves Wells' ass.

The real question is, is the Milwaukee pen any good? Our batters can obliterate bad pitchers - see Campbell, last night - but any competent pitching sits us down. If they can pitch 9 innings of effective ball, 3 runs is plenty to beat us with.

Devin Williams is hurt so we’ve got that going for us.

Their bullpen is 9th in WPA.  O’s are 15th.

You could say he's the team anchor. 

Of course, my analogy works a couple of opposite ways. 

And @ArtVanDelay, I like Hays (I did that silly The Ballad of Austin Hays last year).

But he's just in the funk of all funks right now, and even with hard hit balls, no luck.

These balls have been hit hard...should already be 4-0 in a different ballpark

Wells is lucky the wall is where it is after another hanging slider.

[Billy F-Face3]

I wish Mullins had a much stronger arm. He'd be unstoppable in Centerfield.

[Bemorewins]

I’m a little late arriving. Looks like the opposition is doing their usual teeing off on Wells. Man what happened to Tyler Wells? He was really good last year.

[Roy Firestone]

need this out...

He said on Foul Territory today that he still doesn't even know everyone's name and he didn't seem particularly concerned about learning them. He said good luck with that, or something.

I like Hays too but he’s been in a funk going back to June.  I don’t see a future for him in Baltimore.  He’ll go somewhere else and be a productive player.

Announcers say lower back discomfort on Yelich exit.

[Roy Firestone]

Wells is just not even competitive..puts us in a major hole...but then we are ALWAYS in a hole...

[Say O!]

During the in game, Hyde said he wanted Wells to start using both sides of the plate but I’ve yet to see an inside fastball. These guys (and Pitts last time too) are just sitting on outside pitches and crushing the hanging breaking ball.
